Oreo's era is in full swing and the next device to get the chocolate and cream treat is HTC's U11. Back in August, when Oreo officially launched, HTC said it would be bringing the new software version to the U11, U Ultra, and HTC 10, and the first one appears to have won the race.

Twitter user @shimonips tweeted that he got the update notification on his Taiwan unit of the U11. The update weighs 1.33GB and pushes the build number up to 2.31.709.1. It should also come with all the Oreo goodies, including PIP, Autofill API, notification channels, and more.

Update only available in the device maker's home country. But if you paid full price elsewhere or especially in the US, how do you feel about being a second or third tier customer? Quit congratulating them and demand better. At the very least they can update everyone in the world at the same time like Apple can, even if Google can't update all Android devices from the last five years like Apple can with iOS versions. If you're paying Apple prices or close to Apple prices, demand Apple level of service, or a new price tag to match.

flash custom ROM, don't care

You shouldn't have to, though. It's embarrassing to have to turn to CM/Lineage because a custom ROM is so much better than the hack that came on the phone.

Takes longer to pack in more features. quit whining.
And 600 bucks when the device was brand new isn't apple prices.
